Hide and Seek Poem

Today we had to write a Hide and Seek poem. We had to describe a time when we were playing hide and seek. I chose to do a time when i was playing spotlight at a party.

Hide and Seek 

Go! I sprint away, my hair flying in the wind. I scan the area as I run, searching
for a spot. 

Faster! Faster!

As I reach the spot a crowd gathers, they too have the same idea. We form a
line and over the fence we go everyone helping each other over the towering
fence. We land in a heap on the dirty ground. 

But not too loud, they’re after us. 

Through the grimey boards I see a torch flash, blinding me from my watch. 

Stay low and quiet. 

Inhaling and exhaling like a whale, am I too loud?

I hear the distant giggling and shushing coming from behind me. 

I try to shush them but the excitement builds. 

My blood pumps and my heart pounds. 

I mustn't move a muscle. 

I feel the board vibrate as the seeker walks overhead. 

I stay low even though I'm already lying on the damp mud, sluggish.

My friends hush and we all try not to breathe. 

Does he know we’re there? I hope not because I want to win!

The suspense lingered as he scanned the area with the torch. 

Damn! 

The light blasts in my face. 

Spotlight!
